Yes definitely Parker's Luxury Coaches!

And on the front.'"
Well done "Stand - Offish" it was indeed Parkers Luxury Coaches
Here is an easier question for everybody
Can you name the Dons Director who discovered a football player who went on to be a England international star & also name the player concerned.

I would have thought that at least someone would be able to name the player.

| Dons directors should have been scouting for Rugby League players. No wonder we've always struggled. I bet KK was a crap centre.

| You Got some of it right. The bus firm was owned by Ernie Hart and the buses bore his name. When he sold to Beehive he moved to Carcroft and set up a new business called Kildare which incidentally was the name of his house)

Kildare operated a Duple bodied Commer Avenger coach powered by a Tilling Stevens TS3 two stroke diesel engine.

| And the driver was a little fat chap who walked with a lisp. I.m loving all this trivia, it will be next season before you know it. By the way I never got to know if the bloke who sat on the cold concrete steps smoking his pipe, ever got piles.
